The following error appears on the browser console:

"error": "The request was well-formed but was unable to be followed due to semantic errors."

Notes

• The error doesn't seem to affect all JSM projects.
• The error affects just a few users.

Workaround

• Create a test issue (through the create button) using any issue type (NOT request type). Try creating a linked issue again, this should work.
  • Note You will need to re-apply this workaround every time you create an issue with a request type in the issue create dialog. This is due to Jira trying to pre-select an option that does not exist in the create linked issue dialog.
• Additionally, you can create the linked issue using the "wrong" issue type and then move it to the correct one. In this case, the bug will persist.
